Ingredients

2 Coconut (brown skin removed)
1 cup Milk
4 cups sugar
1 ½ tbsp ghee
Red food color
1 small biscuit packet
Oddy Ecobake
Oddy Uniwrap
Cashew nuts

Directions

Remove the brown skin part from coconut and grind it into a fine paste. Add a little milk to get a smooth fine texture for the coconut.
Now remove the coconut paste in a heavy bottom kadai and cook it on a low flame. Keep on stirring and cook for 5-7 mins. Then add 1 cup milk and stir the mixture. Add sugar and keep stirring the barfi mixture to avoid any lumps. Now when you feel the mixture is getting thicker and ghee and mix well.
Avoid the formation of lumps. Once the texture becomes thick like a barfi, remove half of it in a plate. In the other half add 2-3 drops of red food colour and mix well. This gives a nice colour and a mild flavour to our coconut barfi. Mix well and switch off the flame.
In a big flat dish add a little oil and place Oddy Ecobake. Oddy Ecobake is grease-proof and helps in setting the perfect shape for our barfi.
Now add the white coloured barfi mixture and pat on the dish nicely. Add the red coloured barfi mixture on top of it and again pat it flatly with a spatula as shown in video. Now slightly give a round shape on the sides of the barfi and cut it into equal shapes.
Refrigerate the barfi for 3 hours and then top it with cashew nut for garnishing. You can use Oddy Uniwraps to store the barfi fresh for longer. Our super easy Coconut barfi is ready to relish.
